Chapter 687: Volume Nineteen: Lost Horizon - Fifteen: Setting the Stage at the Doorstep_2
The sheathed thrusting sword nearly glided into the air in an instant, its fluid motion devoid of any superfluity. In midair, the stiletto shimmered with myriad specks of light, and the suddenly erupting Fighting Qi caused the frost-cold blade to unexpectedly grow by three feet in a flash. The brilliant light flickered unstably, and as the Fighting Qi burst forth from the stiletto, it thrust forward rapidly through the air, its fierce friction producing a piercing shriek. A sky full of Sword Qi whipped up endless winds and clouds, the specks of light densely converging into an all-encompassing light net aiming to entirely envelop Komer.
With a flick of his fingers, a silent Dark Shield materialized in front of Komer. He was also curious to test the extent of his power after surviving the ordeal in the Different World’s void. His powerful Dark Magic Power allowed Komer to conjure it effortlessly, without any need for spells—an unfathomable feat in the past.
The dense specks of light striking the Dark Shield immediately caused it to tremble violently, the fierce collision of forces distorting the air with a strange twist. The Dark Shield fractured after withstanding only a few blows, yet before it shattered, Komer had already released his blinding spell in an instant.
Startled, Katrina hastily retracted her flashing stiletto, drawing around herself a magnificent curtain of light for protection. She realized she had been careless this time, not expecting a bard to actually be a concealed master. Although her intuition told her that the other party seemed to have no intention of targeting her directly, relying on her intuition was never Katrina’s style. She preferred to control others’ fates.
The opponent’s sudden disappearance made Katrina aware that she was facing an unfathomable Mage. Although the blinding spell was no sophisticated Magic, the fact that it was cast instantly without any visible preparation unnerved her.
When Komer reappeared from a different angle, angry roars akin to thunder followed the sudden appearance of several hulking figures. The Cross Spiral Harrows whirling in flight emitted a ghastly wail. Three spinning discs surrounded Komer, clashing and grinding down in a frenzy. Amidst the howling, the glimmers of light dazzled; these were deadly weapons adapted from the Dwarves’ flying axes, especially lethal in close combat and when facing multiple foes.
Komer hadn’t expected his opponent to react so swiftly. Before he could launch an offense, the giants’ Cross Spiral Harrows were already entangling him. He smoothly executed a Dragon Soaring Control Art to evade the intersecting assault of three spinning harrows, but as they collided with each other, they leveraged the impact to spiral back towards the direction Komer had dodged.
"Hey!" An Earth Elemental Giant leaped up to meet them, its dense earthen body allowing the three Cross Spiral Harrows to sink deeply into it.
"Miss Katrina, your subordinates are quite responsive. However, it seems you’ve misunderstood my intentions. Do you really think that if I had wanted to harm you, you’d still have a chance?" Komer watched as the Earth Elemental Giant was cleaved into several pieces by the three Cross Spiral Harrows, which exhausted their force in the process. Yet, he remained composed and nonchalant.
